sold, traded, switched so many phones for us, and sent a new one when one stopped working.
Later I found out he did win the trip. Upon canceling service to get the AT&T I-Phone, I found
out that one Verizon phone was put on a new 2 year plan and I was charged an early cancella-
tion fee that they would not reverse even though all other lines were past their 2 year contract.
No one told me upon canceling that 1 of the lines would be subject to early cancellation. BE-
WARE and read their fine print! You, too, could get caught in this trick.
